Two taken to Shock Trauma, others injured this weekend

A series of accidents in the county Friday and Saturday sent two people to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore and three others to other area hospitals. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.

Shortly before 11:30 p.m. Friday, a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle near Wheel House Way and Cape Split Harbor in Pasadena, county fire department spokesman Capt. Michael Pfaltzgraff said.

A 20-year-old male was transported to Shock Trauma with serious injuries.

An hour later, at 12:30 a.m. Saturday, a motor vehicle accident on the 1200 block of Crain Highway North in Glen Burnie left two people trapped inside a vehicle.

It took 10 minutes for first responders to rescue the people, fire officials said.

An 18-year-old female was transported to Shock Trauma with injuries that were considered serious.

A second person, whose sex and age was not available, was transported to MedStar Harbor Hospital in Baltimore, also with serious injuries.
